How to Sew a Coffee Sleeve - Tutorial Tuesday

NOTE: THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN UPDATED TO USE AN ELASTIC HAIRTIE AND BUTTON INSTEAD.

I'm not a coffee drinker. Never have been and never will be. But hubby? Oh, yeah. While he loves his coffee, he has sensitive fingertips. He can't stand holding anything hot for long. So you'd think I would have made today's tutorial for him, right? I'm not sure he'll be thrilled with the fabric used so I guess not. But maybe, if he's good, I'll make him his own. But is it called a coffee sleeve or a cozy? Not a clue.

For this project you will need:

•  main fabric
•  lining fabric 
•  cotton batting
•  elastic hair tie
• button 
• Marking pencil
• Pins or Clover Wonder Clips
• Iron
• Sewing machine
• Matching thread
• Rotary cutter
• Cutting ruler
• Cutting mat
• Template from here
